Hey people, I used to be a long-time member of the forums here many moons ago, lost all my old user details for that, changed ISP etc, moved country, so hence the new account! I am looking for a list of some of the trippiest, most drugged out albums you have ever heard, I wanna create a playlist for a long plane flight later on this year (over 9 1/2 hour flight), and I am sure this would help me relax quite nicely! Any Prog genres considered, open to never heard bands, just want to explore some of the weirdest, wildest in the genre! Cheers! |

Wow That DOM album is some pretty tripped out sh*t indeed, especially the middle-eastern-ish vibe it has flowing through it. Sadly, they only ever had that one album (Edge of Time), private pressing I believe. |

Well, Tago Mago and Piper at the Gates of Dawn is also are, in my view, extremely trippy albums. I love that DOM is getting some attention, Edge of Time is one of my all-time favorite albums. I was also thinking about Klaus Schulze's Cyborg. It is a different kind of "trippy" than most of the above, but I always found something extremely psychedelic about it. If you want really trippy and drugged-out music, I also suggest the whole late-60's Swedish psych scene. The 2001 release of recordings by Pärson Sound is phenomenal, but International Harvester's Sov gott Rose-Marie is excellent, as well. There is also Harvester's Hemåt, which, while not as great as the two aforementioned albums, is also quite good and features a beautiful, "trippy" version of a Swedish folk song "Kristallen den fina." ------------- Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided. |

Depends-- 'Trippiest/Drugged Out' could be anything from later Coltrane to early Zappa to Pussy's Plays to Floyd's Meddle. On the other hand if you want deep space, then much of Klaus Schulze should fit the bill. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.

Yep. Trippy is as subjective as cool. Sun Ra is trippier than much Krautrock and what is called psychedelic rock. Many jazz artists in the 60s really upped the trippiness. For PA check out the Indo-raga, progressive electronic and Kraut sections. But i totally agree that Schulze certainly ranks as some of the most intense crazy stuff out there. I also love Coil, Throbbing Gristle and even Philip Glass. Have fun deciding! ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

First one I would have mentiond is Dom's Edge of Time, but of course it's been talked about already (I adore that album). I'd mention Horrific Child's L'étrange Monsieur Whinster, Brave New World's Impressions on Reading Aldous Huxley, Zanov's Green Ray, Igor Wakhevitch's Docteur Faust, and maybe Alain Goraguer's La planet Sauvage. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

Date Posted: February 09 2018 at 12:46
A good one! I have no idea if Igor Wakhevitch was actually heavily into drugs or lived a pure and saintly existence when he was recording music. But his head was certainly in a place most people can't get to without chemical assistance, and one could really cite his complete works here. If I had to pick one it'd probably be Les Fous d'Or, which is demented even by Wakevitch standards. A bad trip caught on tape.

^ I thought about mentioning Les Maledictus Sound -- not as messed up methinks, but still a good remondations.
Been ages since I last listened to it, but put it on, and yes, Les Fous d'Or is a good recommendation. Nagual is another I would have thought of, even though, as you say, all of his albums have trippy qualities (bad trippy quite commonly, but a bad trip in a good way). Another from me, Yatha Sidhra's A Meditation Mass. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

^Docteur Faust, L'Etrange... For trippy/drugged out albums those are just too dark for me too recommend in that context. And I guess a too composed feel. Love the music but it's just how I associate. Dom and Zanov are perfect though. I'll recommend: Kalacakra - Crawling To Lhasa Älgarnas Trädgård - Framtiden Är Ett Svävande Skepp, Förankrat I Forntiden Franco Leprino - Integrati ... Disintegrati Cosmic Jokers - Galactic Supermarket Frankie Dymon Jr. - Let it Out Boredoms - Seadrum/House of Sun Code III - Planet of Man Deuter - Aum -------------

^ Interesting, I wouldn't have thought of Franco Leprino's - Integrati ... Disintegrati even though that's like one of my absolute favourite albums. Like Wakhevitch, it's very composed. I can see how it would fit, though. Another one I thought of before is Hypnose Reelle by Marcel Hendryckx and A. Jaillard, but then I'd be recommending it as a fan of stuff like Leprino and Wakhevitch rather than for the topic starter. Anyway, I feel like recommending Sergius Golowin's Lord Krishna von Goloka. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6erGx_TNKU" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6erGx_TNKU EDIT: Different, but I also think that Geinoh Yamashirogumi's Osorezan has a trippy quality to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlFQvKG-daM" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlFQvKG-daM ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

Not Prog - but this album had me riveted back in my wafty days. I still get cottonmouth and puffy eyes when I listen to it. Thing is - I think you had to be there. Isn't that the case when it comes to trippy music? I think Gordon Lightfoot can be trippy in the right context. Just don't think of it as Synth-Pop. It ruins the experience. |

That's what I thought of immediately, but I think you were the first to mention it on this thread! Onze Danses Pour Combattre La Migraine from Aksak (don't think this one was mentioned yet) Azimuth from Azymuth is a chilled out, long-road album I'd recommend for any relaxation. Not quite trippy, though..
On Land And In The Sea from Cardiacs, my favorite Cardiacs release. Like a tripped-out circus ride. Someone mentioned Faust, I think The Faust Tapes would certainly classify. My favorite from them, no doubt. Finally got a copy after years of looking for it at record stores. Franco Battiato's Pollution, those synths have taken something really heavy.. Something out of this world.. Any GONG, really. Specifically YOU. I would imagine they've been mentioned on this thread, but I don't remember seeing them mentioned.. Jumbo's Vietato Ai Minori Di Diciotto Anni ?, again with the feature of Battiato. Minas from Milton Nascimento is his Sgt. Pepper's, a weird collage of percussion and little girls singing. Not on this site, never understood why. Vento Sul from Marcos Valle, imagine a drugged-out, hippie Jethro Tull laying in bed and writing stunning poetry and arrangements. Marcos blows Jethro out of the water 10x over. Mother Earth's Plantasia!! I think I've given enough  |

Loving this thread so far. Love psychedelic, trippy music and there are just so many listening reminders here. Also, if we were to talk single tracks (as opposed to whole albums), I wouldn't be myself if I didn't mention Egg. While most of their output is not really trippy in a traditional psychedelic/druggy kind of way, the long "Boilk" from their second album really seems to sound like a psychedelic trip. One can really hear those sonic fractal visions and just the rich, varied thought flow that psychonauts experience. From a certain point of view, The Polite Force is somewhat psychedelic and trippy, but definitely not drugged-out.

Talk about being utterly unclear on the concept. The album had nothing to do with psychedelics; rather it is about alienation. It was planned to be edgy and disorienting; hence, songs about stalking, amnesia, assassination, bigotry, apartheid, nationalism and mental institutions. It is unsettling due in part by how it was produced: the total lack of cymbals, irregular time signatures, first use of the gated drum effect, and the use of Kate Bush was brilliant (not to mention the excellent musicianship of Robert Fripp and Phil Collins). It is one of the best albums of the 80s. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

The United States of America album came out in 1968 actually(although it was recorded in very late 67). I would also maybe add Music in a doll's House by Family. Heck, just about any late sixties psych album. Although I haven't actually heard it how about "After Bathing at Baxters" by Jefferson Airplane. You could also add the first Pink Floyd album "Piper at the Gates of Dawn." If "Interstellar Overdrive" isn't trippy then nothing is.

Hi, I'm not sure that some of these albums were "druggy/trippy" at all. It's hard to imagine the group CAN being totally stoned in the studio pulling off their early albums ... it just seems way too far and weird, and I think this may have been one of the reasons why Damo eventually had to leave ... too many drugs. They were way too intelligent and well versed musically, studying with some very highly well respected teachers, to waste their time getting stoned, and then bring a paper, or a project to school next morning. The other side of it all, is that the "druggyness" of it all is questionable sometimes, at least later in the production stages of the album. It is not likely that an album would be recorded properly and put together so sensitively, as so many of the things that we mentioned here. Somewhere along the way ... we got cheated! I remember watching "Let it Be" ... and finding that it was kinda obvious that some of the 4 folks were already on the drug withdrawal side of things, and when you hear Paul talk about note and chords in explaining a thing or two, it's not exactly high school exercise ... just play an A ... or a C. I am not convinced that one can, usually, play well enough stoned to be able to get the proper results. Even Roger used to complain about the amount of dope in the audience and how it affected them in the live shows. He did not say anything about it a few years earlier, when they were the ultimate "stoned" band! So you know he quit the stuff. There are many pieces of music, that one could think that it was all a stoned adventure. I might like to add a few: Grobbschnitt - Solar Music Live (specially since the different versions are also very good!) Man - Be Good to Yourself album ("C'mon" is one of the nicest things, specially the one recorded on the live double album after it ... with the choir ... totally insane!). Deke Leonard's books have some examples of them being so ripped that they did not remember much about their play. The side bands, like Neutrons and Help Yourself also came off as very stony. Early Tangerine Dream - Some of the best tripping ever ... and no lyrics to sidestep you! Egberto Gismonti - No Caipira -- the orchestral pieces here are absolutely amazing, and in some cases, I think scary for most listeners. Not to mention that the album is a mix of so many things that you kinda go ... what kind of music is this? I always thought that parts of this album belonged in a soundtrack for Doris Lessing's Briefing for a Descent into Hell, but that might just be too weird for some. Read the short book! Iron Butterfly - In a Gadda da Vida ... sadly a lot of the rest of their catalogue is not trippy at all. The Doors - The really long cuts are very psychedelic, however, for me, they are a MOVIE ... as a lot of the songs they do are. Eberhard Schoenner - TranceFormation ... with one funny bit ... he's not a stony at all. But this original mix of Gregorian Chants with electronics and guitar some 20 years before that copy band became well known in the "new age cheap bologna section". Ralph Lundsted - Norwegian (?) crazy man, and in the early days he had some fantastic things. The Nature Symphony Series is a lot of fun to listen to although it comes off as a bit weird and stony. I'm not sure it is stoney at all! One last thing .... the trippiest ... if you have the guts for it ... warning ... strong stomach is required and not full of junk! Tibetan Bells - Wolff and Hemmings Frank Perry - Deep Peace ... also ... New Atlantis. I dare you to stay with it 3 or 4 minutes! Peter Michael Hamel - The meditative albums. Klaus Schulze - Meditations for the adept only. Some really long and totally beautiful things, and sadly some of them are in a private series of CD's that were not released for the public, and his manager says that they will never release that stuff again, and it is some of the prettiest things he has ever done. Ash Ra Tempel/Cosmic Jokers - Even though some of these things were apparently stolen tapes that should not have been released, there is a side of Ash Ra Tempel (until Join Inn) that was very meditative, and for me very sensual with the soft woman voice. The Cosmic Jokers thing is a bit stranger, but interesting with various bits and pieces of interest, although we tend to ignore them, specially the comments by Tim Leary in one album. This might have been very stoney music, by its members, but in the end, what you hear in the album "Cosmic Jokers" in the two long sides are two very nice, beautifully done pieces, very sensitively moving from note to another ... in a beautiful way that is automatically trippy, and at the same times stoney. Stephen Micus - Various albums of experimental stuff Ozric Tentacles - Maybe in the early days, but here in Portland the last time they were here, both Ed and Brandy were turning down joints from anyone, and were only drinking fruit juices it looked like. I can not quite list the eastern (specially Hindu) list of meditative artists many of which are pure raga masters ... which is a meditation in its own right. I just hope that we go around thinking that GONG is trippy because they were stoned. Even later, Daevid did a lot of solo albums, and they were way more of a trip than GONG was, which had its intelectual/artistic edge that the other material did not have. The other material was strictly tripping and meditation material. Check out the glissando series and some of the cosmic stuff that he did ... it's really beautiful stuff and it's not about the dope, and hopefully you won't think it is either. Reminds me of something that Gilly said once when we were yapping ... having babies and getting stoned is not a good combination! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

[Ozric Tentacles - Maybe in the early days, but here in Portland the last time they were here, both Ed and Brandy were turning down joints from anyone, and were only drinking fruit juices it looked like.] Really? The last time I saw them they definitely appeared stoned. Well, at least Brandy definitely did.
